I don't know if you've got any old Napco kepads around, but I seem to
remember that some of keypads from newer panels worked with some of the
older panels. The only difference was that the red LED comes on when
it's disarmed and the green when it's armed. You'd have to try
different four wire keypads. Either they'll work or they wont. You wont
hurt the panel if the keypad you're trying isn't compatable. I've never
heard of a keypad from another manufacturer working with a Napco panel
but I guess it's (remote-ly :-) possible.
